Big Ten lands 4 NFL Draft prospects on Yahoo! Sports’ annual ‘All-Juice Team’

With the NFL Draft fast approaching, annual installments leading up to the big event are being released. That means Yahoo! Sports’ annual “All-Juice Team” is one of them.
The late NFL writer Terez Paylor coined the term during what he often described as “Nerd Christmas” and loved the many ways that February through April served as the intersection of the college football and NFL worlds he loved so much, his colleagues Charles Robinson and Eric Edholm wrote.
His Yahoo colleagues have kept up the tradition, and this is the 8th installment of the All-Juice Team, which is often described as players who display “Effort, Attitude and Performance,” along with a simple question Paylor often employed “Who are the players that simply have the goods?”
Yahoo highlighted one story from the Big Ten:
How trainers told Nebraska cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt that his Senior Bowl experience was over late in the practice week due to a quad injury — which is usually a guaranteed shutdown situation for a draft pick. Cam thought otherwise. Not only did he show up for practice the next day, he finished the week and played in the game. That kind of toughness is an All-Juice trait.
The Big Ten landed 4 players on the team:
Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson
Penn State EDGE Arnold Ebiketie
Nebraska C Cam Jurgens
Nebraska CB Cam Taylor-Britt
